February was also Sarah's month for the Busy Little Quilting Bee. I e-mailed her a couple of days ago because I never received my fabric, thinking it must have gotten lost. Sure enough, yesterday it arrived and took almost 2 weeks to get here. What the heck? I think my mail people hold on to my mail. Anyway, Sarah requested a scrappy vintage style quilt. She sent some really adorable reproduction fabric. I don't know why but I immediately wanted to do a Dresden Plate. Now, I've never done one before and I've read about how tricky they can be but I must say this was pretty easy.
I machine pieced the "plate" together and then appliqued it onto the background fabric. It all came together rather quickly and I think I might be addicted. Actually if I didn't "know" Sarah, I might be tempted to keep it for myself!

KATIE! It is wonderful.
very pretty...there's just something about those reproduction fabrics...perfect way to showcase them!
That looks really hard, but it turned out beautiful.
Katie... I love it. I want to make some dresden plates but I guess I have always been a little intimidated. I am so glad you said it wasn't that bad. I might have to go ahead and give it a try. It is so pretty.
I love this pattern! Great job!
Ooooo! So pretty! You did a beautiful job.
Very pretty, Katie!
I love to see dresden plate. Is it difficult to sew, I mean to combine all of them into one pattern?

Beautiful fabrics and beautiful work. Sarah will love it.
That's wonderful! When are you going thrifting again anyway? I need a dose of cups and saucers or bright buttons in my day!
